"The term tipping point provides a useful way of thinking about that theoretical juncture along any path when the possible becomes the inevitable. We often use the term in connection with climate change: The tipping point is the moment when the processes that contribute to global warming take on an irreversible life of their own. For example, greenhouse gasses tend to raise the global temperature, which tends to melt the arctic tundra,"
"But in the case of President Donald Trump, does it exist, at all? Is there a point beyond which Trump's most committed fans will finally withhold their support? If you're a steadfast Trump supporter, you may have already given up on this column. But I hope not. It's worth considering whether Trump's behavior could ever reach a tipping point that would change your mind about him. And if there is no tipping point, then that's a worthwhile piece of information, as well."
The term tipping point is defined as the juncture when the possible becomes inevitable, illustrated by climate-change feedback loops like thawing tundra releasing greenhouse gases. The question arises whether a comparable irreversible moment exists for President Donald Trump and whether any behavior could make committed supporters withdraw support. High-profile moments such as the Access Hollywood tape and Jan. 6, 2021, were expected to be deal-breakers but failed to end support. Identifying whether a tipping point for Trump exists is important because the absence of one is itself significant information.
